12 weeks

Felt good to hit 12 weeks (Which was actually 3 day ago). The risk of of misarriage goes down, it used to be considered the start of the 2nd semester, although that's up for debate now as some doctors and website now say 13 weeks or 14 weeks. Whatever. It's still good.

We were supposed to have an ultrasound today. The NT (nuchal transluceny) test, which screens for down syndrome. I don't care about that, I just want to see the baby. But I had an interview today at approximately the same time... so now our ultrasound is Monday. I'll be 12 weeks, 6 days. I cannot wait, although, I am nervous. What if they see something wrong. Ultrasounds are like that. They are awesome and amazing because you get to see your baby. But terrifying at the same time, because they may show something wrong.

Are you a parent while your pregnant? I mean, I already sacrifice. The first purchase I was going to make as a nurse was to buy a new computer. But with a baby on the way, and a house to buy for the baby to live in, hundreds of extra dollars are not exactly lying around. So I still have a laptop that is slow, that doesn't have a battery, and a power cord that falls out causing the computer to suddenly shut off. Another example, I love drinking some beers on a summer night. I mean love it. No beers to be drunk this summer though. I had to stop taking just about every medication. I have some intense ankle pain for months now, and can't get an xray like a normal person would. All sacrifices for my kid. But then again I don't even know what my kid looks like and I don't have to oversee them on a daily basis...since I know exactly where they are (my belly) and what they're doing (gestating). So yes, pregnancy is a strange in between land.

We go house hunting on Saturday. Eric is excited but it just gives me anxiety.

Well I must go nap. I was up early for the interview (for a job i'd really love but clearly, timing is bad) and have to work in 3 hours. Work work work.
